Qualcomm files new patent infringement complaints against Apple

Qualcomm accuses Apple of violating 16 of its patents including power-saving tech and camera autofocus in devices from the iPhone 7 to the new premium iPhone X. Numerous patents cover technology that improves battery life, but others focus on additional smartphone tech.

To view the full article, register now. Unless the two settle their differences out of court, it may take years until we hear final verdicts in these patent lawsuits - and these trials are bound to become even more complicated.

In January, Apple charged Qualcomm for patent royalty rebates of around $1 billion that latter purportedly withheld from Apple.

In particular, Qualcomm points to the iPhone X's multitasking interface and its similarities to the interface webOS used to use.

The patent application said that the technology is related to any kind of electronic device that has a display, like a "laptop computer, a tablet computer, a cellular telephone, a wristwatch, or other electronic device (e.g., a portable device, handheld device, etc.)". More recently, Apple reviewed its answer to Qualcomm's grievance with accusations of its own. These claims were first reported by Reuters. Samsung and Google are not named in Apple's counterclaims.
